In spite of these setbacks, 40,000 people graduated with Nanodegrees in 2018, and Udacity’s is on track to end the year with 25 percent growth in revenue.

Udacity also struggled a bit because none of the Nanodegrees launched in 2018 became a major hit. This might have pushed Udacity to increase Nanodegree prices as well as cut the pay for Udacity mentors and reviewers (more on this below).

Udacity made a few other changes this year, including organizing courses in Schools and launching a new Student Hub.

By The Numbers

By the end of 2018, Udacity expects to have 65,000 Nanodegree alumni. In 2018, Udacity saw a 100% year over year increase in graduations: about 40K students will have graduated from Nanodegree programs in 2018 compared to about 18K total graduations in 2017. 12% of Udacity alumni have graduated from more than one Nanodegree program.

Currently, Udacity has 50,000 students registered in paid Udacity Nanodegree programs, with more than half outside of the U.S. Twelve percent of these students are scholarship recipients, many of whom are sponsored by Udacity’s industry partners.

The company has more than 10 million students across its courses and Nanodegrees. According to Udacity, these students have spent 768 million minutes in the Classroom and completed 350k projects in 2018.

Udacity has 250 global employer-partners.

Monetization

Udacity’s global revenue is on track to end the year with 25 percent growth, which means revenues are just shy of $90 million. In 2017, the made $70 million, up from $29 million in 2016.

2018 Highlights and Milestones

CEO Search and Layoffs

In October, Udacity co-founder Sebastian Thrun announced in a blog post that Vishal Makhijani, Udacity’s CEO would be stepping down. According to Thrun, Vishal or Vish as he is known, “has decided to move on to new challenges.”

Currently, Udacity doesn’t have a new CEO lined up. Thrun and the Board of Directors, led by Peter Levine from Andreessen Horowitz (one of Udacity’s investors), have begun the search process for the new CEO.

Sebastian Thrun is now overseeing day to day operations at Udacity. He, along with the board, decided to implement a drastic change in Udacity’s global strategy.

In September of this year, TechCrunch reported that Udacity had laid off atleast 25 people. But the biggest surprise came last month, when Udacity announced plans to restructure the company and lay off 125 employees by early 2019.

Many of the personnel cuts will be to Udacity’s Brazil office, where half of the 70-person staff will lose their jobs. This is a surprising move, considering that Udacity has 10,000 active Nanodegree students in the country and that 1 in 5 Nanodegree students is Brazilian. Udacity will only market the Nanodegrees offered in Portuguese until December 31st, 2018 and will presumably shut them down afterward.

The remaining cuts will come from departments in the United States related to creating Udacity courses.

According to VentureBeat, as part of this restructuring, Udacity plans to grow enterprise-focused offerings in places like India and consumer-focused operations in China and the Middle East.

Pay Cut for Reviewers and Mentors

Udacity crowdsources project reviews and mentorship (1:1 help). This is different than ‘Peer Review’, which is usually done by students.

These services are often performed by Udacity Alumni, who at one time were well compensated for their efforts. Human graded projects were one of the unique selling points of Udacity, and in my experience, as a learner, they worked well.

Udacity co-founder Sebastian Thrun once boasted that top reviewers could make upwards of $20,000/month.

But mentors and reviewers may no longer be earning these kinds of figures. Udacity has now combined project reviewers and mentors in a single role, ‘Udacity Mentors’, and have instituted drastic pay cuts.

Other changes, such as variable pay scales based on the mentor’s home country and changes in algorithms on how projects are assigned (leading to less work), have made it more difficult for individual mentors to earn high wages.

I have been able to piece together some details through Glassdoor reviews and reddit comments, but exact details have been difficult to find.

Here is a pricing chart I found online, showing how much Udacity pays to its mentors. This is outdated but gives a sense of how Udacity pays.

The VR Nanodegree was split into three different Nanodegrees. Reusing and remixing content to create new Nanodegrees is a common theme at Udacity. This can sometimes result in jarring experiences for students when the Nanodegree program they are pursuing changes mid-course.

Scheduling Changes

In Udacity’s 2017: Year in Review, I talked about how Udacity was moving towards a term based schedule, i.e start and end dates instead of the monthly subscription model. In 2018, Udacity formally announced the switch to term based scheduling.

According to Udacity COO Clarissa Chen, Udacity has noticed a 16-point increase in graduation rates for a term-based Nanodegree over its old subscription model.

The term based scheduling means that that students need to finish all projects before the end of the term. Those who fail to do so are offered a 4-week extension to complete any outstanding projects. If they don’t, they are kicked out of the program and lose access to the content. Even graduates have access to content for only 12 months after the end of their program.

Students also don’t have an option to pause their Nanodegrees. They can rejoin the Nanodegree the next term but will have to pay the full price again.

Price Increases

Switching to a term based model also meant that students had to pay upfront instead of a monthly fee. While making this switch, Udacity also stopped offering both its job guarantee program and its promise of half your money back on completion, thereby effectively increasing its prices.

Additionally, in 2018, Udacity drastically increased the sticker prices for a good number of their Nanodegrees. Let me go through an example.

iOS Nanodegree

Originally the iOS Nanodegree cost $199/month and was supposed to take 6 months. It also came with a half your money back guarantee. So if you stuck to the Udacity schedule, you could potentially earn this Nanodegree for $600.

But when Udacity changed to a term based schedule, the price for the Nanodegree shot up to $999 which you had to pay upfront and finish with 7 months.

Now the iOS Nanodegree is split into two terms. The cost for each term is $999. So effectively the price of the Nanodegree has increased by 300%.

The Android and Machine Learning Nanodegree have seen similar increases. Here are a few more examples of price increases in 2018.

According to one comment on Reddit that I found, it also seems now Udacity has started charging $100 for Resume Reviews, which used to be offered for free as part of Nanodegrees.

Most Popular Nanodegrees

The most popular Nanodegrees in 2018 were as follows (according to Udacity):

Front-End Web Developer

Data Analyst

Android Basics

Digital Marketing

AI Programming with Python

Some (if not all) of these were promoted heavily through various Udacity scholarships around the world, which might have boosted their numbers over other Nanodegrees.

Courses

As I noted in last year’s review on Udacity, the number of free online courses launched by Udacity has been decreasing since 2015. This year was no different. In 2018, Udacity launched 25 free courses.

Half of those were part of a series of 12 career courses launched early this year. Some of these courses (if not all) have been available to Nanodegree students for a while now but were only made available to the public this year.

Scholarships and Challenges

Udacity continued its approach of partnering with companies to give scholarships to students or announcing challenges. Here is a review from a learner who received such a scholarship. She was one of the 15,000 students who received a scholarship through a joint program between Udacity and Bertelsmann, a media company. All the students were put into the same cohort. Two weeks before the deadline only around 900 students had completed all the course materials, a completion rate of only 6%. Interestingly, this completion rate is very similar to that of free MOOCs, begging the question, does the act of payment itself influence completion rates?

The total number of learners on FutureLearn’s platform grew to 8.7 million in 2018, up from 7.1 million in 2017.

The big focus of MOOC providers in 2018 is online degrees, and FutureLearn is no exception. In fact, FutureLearn leads the pack with the largest number of MOOC-based degrees. Unlike other providers, however, FutureLearn’s degrees don’t tend to be much cheaper than their online or in-person counterparts.

This focus on degrees means that, like Coursera, the FutureLearn platform remained mostly unchanged from a free user’s perspective. Most of the investment went into beefing up the degree platform. The company is raising another £40m to move further in that direction.

FutureLearn’s modest team (as compared to other top 5 MOOC providers) of 130 people generated a revenue of £8.2M in the last fiscal year (to the end of July).

For more of Class Central‘s analysis of FutureLearn’s 2018, keep reading. You can previous Year in Reviews here: 2017 and 2016.

2018 Highlights

Monetization

FutureLearn generated revenues of £8.2M in the last fiscal year (to the end of July). These revenues indicate that FutureLearn’s MOOC business hasn’t taken off to the extent of, for example, Coursera’s.

But FutureLearn must have seen some promising signs for the online degree business because it is in the process of raising £40m to invest in improving its platform to better support online degree students, as well as marketing efforts to acquire online degree students.

By The Numbers

FutureLearn added 1.6 million learners in 2018 as compared to 1.9 million in 2017, taking the total number of learners to 8.7 million. This slowdown is reflective of the entire MOOC market, as focus has shifted from free users to ones that are willing to pay.

FutureLearn still retains its title as the #5 MOOC provider in the world based on the number of learners.

FutureLearn added 250 courses this year, and in total has released around 1,000 courses that are publically available. These courses have been created by 174 partners, 26 of which joined in 2018.

FutureLearn courses tend to be shorter (many are around 2 weeks long), as compared to those from other MOOC providers.

Around 60% of the learners on the platform are female. 48% of learners are from Europe. North America accounts for 9.3%, while 24% come from Asia. The larger audience in Asia can be attributed not just to the population, but also to the fact that some of FutureLearn’s partners are better known in Asia, as well as the popularity of its English language courses, especially from British Council.

Here is a list of most popular courses on FutureLearn in 2018 (data provided by FutureLearn):

Online Degrees

FutureLearn’s future lies in online degrees and it is raising £40m it needs to stay competitive in that market. At the time this writing, FutureLearn lists 25 online degrees from five different university partners: Coventry, Deakin, Murdoch, The Open University (FutureLearn’s parent organization), and The University of Newcastle. All its partners are either in UK or Australia.

Not all FutureLearn degrees are master’s degrees. It also offers Graduate Certificates and Graduate Diplomas, certifications that are relatively unknown in the US but are common in the UK and the Commonwealth countries. Early this year FutureLearn even announced a MOOC BA from the University of Newcastle.

Like the degrees offered by other MOOC providers, FutureLearn’s degrees are built on the MOOC formula as well as the platform, in the sense that they consist of multiple FutureLearn Programs.

But that’s where the similarities end. As mentioned earlier, FutureLearn’s degrees don’t tend to be cheaper than their online counterparts. Outside of a few “taster courses”, they do not tend to release the courses that make up their online degrees to the public.

So FutureLearn’s approach with online degrees is more similar to that of an Online Program Management (OPM) company than that of a MOOC platform.

Programs

The FutureLearn website lists 22 different Programs, FutureLearn’s microcredential. Last year it listed 23 programs. At this point, FutureLearn does seem to be investing in launching Programs that are publicly available. Many of its online degrees are built on top of Programs, but those Programs are only available to students enrolled in their degrees.

]]>https://www.class-central.com/report/futurelearn-2018-year-review/feed/0EdX Puts Up A Paywall for Graded Assignmentshttps://www.class-central.com/report/edx-paywall-graded-assignments/
https://www.class-central.com/report/edx-paywall-graded-assignments/#respondMon, 17 Dec 2018 15:55:53 +0000https://www.class-central.com/report/?p=68078Graded assignments will be behind a paywall. After the course ends free users won’t be able to access the course content.

]]>It finally happened. Early this year, edX removed the word free from their homepage and announced that they would soon start testing a support fee. (Class Central cataloged a few of the tests here.)

Apparently, the results of these tests are in. EdX has decided how it will monetize its MOOC courses going forward. Edx’s paywall will be similar to FutureLearn’s course upgrading feature, in that free users will be able to access the course content for a certain time period. Graded assignments will be behind a paywall.

Coursera was the first to introduce a paywall for graded assignments three years ago. To access the graded assignments, students need to purchase a certificate. Free users could still access the course contents.
FutureLearn’s course upgrading feature.

Then in March of 2017, FutureLearn adopted a similar paywall to Coursera’s, with an added twist. In addition to there being a paywall for graded assignments, the content was only available to free users for the duration of the course and two weeks after it ends.

Edx’s new paywall also has a time limit; after the course ends free users won’t be able to access the course content. According to edX, most existing courses (with a few exceptions) will be moved over to this new model. All new courses will be offered under the new model.

It may come as a surprise to some that edX’s paywall will now be higher than Coursera’s, especially since Coursera has borne the brunt of criticism about restricting access to MOOCs, which many attributed to pressure from Coursera’s venture capital (VC) investors.

Now edX, a non-profit, has arrived at a model similar to Coursera’s, a for-profit company which has raised $210 million dollars in VC. Despite the difference in tax status, this move makes sense. EdX and Coursera offer similar products to the same markets.

Will edX’s new monetization strategy pay off? Evidence from other MOOC platforms is mixed. Coursera’s monetization has worked really for them. They have made $140 million in estimated revenue for 2018, out of which $100 million or so might be from their consumer-facing MOOC business. But FutureLearn’s stronger paywall hasn’t generated similar returns. FutureLearn’s revenue touched £8.2M in the last fiscal year (to the end of July).

Coursera’s catalog has more courses from bigger global brands as compared to FutureLearn’s catalog. But there is another big difference – scheduling policy. Nearly Coursera’s entire catalog is available to register and start immediately, as well as purchase a certificate. This is not true for FutureLearn or edX, where many courses are still session based and often are not available to register or purchase a certificate after the course ends.

This difference in scheduling policies might mean that edX’s experience will more closely resemble FutureLearn’s. And if edX and FutureLearn are not able to monetize at the same level as Coursera, they may have to become even more aggressive with their paywalls.

Strangely enough, with this change to edX, Coursera is now the MOOC platform that allows free users to go furthest before hitting a paywall.

Now in its seventh year, the modern MOOC movement crossed 100 million learners to a total of 101 million. At the same time, we are seeing a decrease in the number of new learners signing up.

In 2018, 20 million new learners signed up for at least one MOOC, down from 23 million the year before. Despite the slowdown, the number of paying users may have increased. MOOC providers’ constant tweaking of the model seems to be paying off, as providers such as Coursera are hitting record revenues ($140 million in 2018 for Coursera).

By the end of 2018, over 900 universities around the world had announced or launched 11.4k MOOCs, with around 2000 new courses added to the list this year (down from 2500 courses in 2017). The number of available MOOCs has grown dramatically in the last few years due to scheduling policy changes, but since user growth hasn’t kept up, each course is getting fewer users.

Monetization

According to Forbes, Coursera’s estimated revenue for 2018 is $140 million, up from Class Central’s estimate of $100 million in 2017.

According to Udacity, the company’s global revenue grew by 25% in 2018 which takes their revenue just shy of the $90 million mark, up from $70 million last year.

FutureLearn which is looking to raise £40m, had revenues of £8.2M in the last fiscal year (to the end of July 2018).

Unfortunately, we don’t have any numbers to share for edX.

Online Degrees

In 2018, we saw MOOC providers announce a number of new online degrees. Coursera, edX, FutureLearn, and XuetangX all announced new degrees, taking the total number of online degrees to 47, up from around 15 in 2017.

This string of announcements led me to call the current moment the second wave of MOOC hype. Many of those degrees that have been announced are not yet live or even accepting applications.

Many universities, including Arizona University, the University of Pennsylvania (an Ivy League institution), UC San Diego, and Imperial College London jumped into the MOOC-based degree game, while others such as Georgia Tech and the University of Illinois announced additions to their existing online degree offerings.

FutureLearn leads the pack with the biggest number of MOOC-based degrees, but unlike other providers, their degrees don’t tend to be much cheaper than their online or in-person counterparts. Many of the new credit-bearing options on the FL platform are shorter post grad certificates.

Microcredentials

In 2018, microcredentials are no longer the hot thing, as the focus has moved to online degrees, though over 120 over new microcredenials programs were launched this year. There are around 630 microcredentials of 10 different types. A bulk of these came from just two credential types: Coursera’s Specializations and edX’s Professional Certificates.

Coursera launched a new type of microcredential called MasterTrack, which is a pricier version of edX’s MicroMasters.

Subjects

Overall, the distribution of courses across subjects has remained quite similar to last year. Forty percent of courses belong to categories that are the easiest to monetize: business and technology

Providers

Coursera is still the largest MOOC provider in the world with over 3,100 active courses. (Coursera has launched around 3,800 courses, but many have been removed). EdX currently boasts a catalog of 2,200 courses, while FutureLearn is approaching the 1,000 course mark.

Jeff Maggioncalda’s first full year as Coursera’s CEO, seems to have gone well. The company’s estimated revenue was $140 million in 2018, a significant increase from 2017’s estimated revenue of around $100 million. Coursera now employs around 330 people.

In 2018, Coursera’s consumer product essentially remained the same, and the paywall didn’t grow further. The total number of learners on the platform grew to 37 million.

Coursera’s push into corporate training (B2B), which finally took off last year, gained further traction in 2018.

The biggest change came in the form of online degrees. Last year Coursera had just four online degrees from two universities. Now in 2018, it has 12 online degrees from 8 universities, including a bachelor’s degree and an Ivy League University master’s.

For more of Class Central‘s analysis of Coursera’s 2018, keep reading. For previous years’ analyses:

State of Coursera in 2018

Consumer

In 2018, Coursera’s focus might have been on Corporate Training and Online Degrees, but the consumer business seems stronger than ever and potentially turning into a cash cow for the company.

Of the estimated $140 million revenue in 2018, it’s quite possible that around $100 million came from the consumer business.

Coursera boasts 37 million total learners, 7 million of which were added in 2018. That’s the same number of new learners that joined the platform in 2017. Although the number of learners being added every year is flat, it seems a greater portion of these learners are paying. This can be attributed to the monetization changes Coursera implemented in 2017 and earlier.

The revenue estimates suggest that Coursera acquired hundreds of thousands of new paying customers in 2018, taking the total number of people who have ever paid for a Coursera course into the millions.

Coursera didn’t tinker too much with the consumer product this year, with no further pricing experiments or modifications to the paywall.

Coursera maintains an active catalog of approximately 3100 courses and 310 specializations, created by more than 160 university partners and more than 20+ industry partners. 675 courses and 90 specializations were launched in 2018.

Most Popular Courses in 2018

Below is a list of the top 10 courses of 2018 shared by Coursera, as measured by total enrollment. Yale’s The Science of Well-Being from Coursera is the only course on the list that was launched in 2018.

Corporate Training

Coursera’s corporate training product is called Coursera for Business. According to Coursera, it has more than 1500 enterprise customers (including over 60 Fortune 500 companies), up from 500 at end of last year.

Coursera for Business costs $400 per year per employee and includes full access to a catalog of around 2500 courses. This is a subset of the entire Coursera catalog. Early this year both Stanford University and the University of Pennsylvania (including the Wharton School of Business) pulled their catalogs from Coursera for Business. Here is a list of courses that are not part of Coursera for Business.

Coursera made a few updates to their Enterprise product in 2018, focusing primarily on extracting more insights from learner data for enterprise customers and integrating more seamlessly with internal learning management systems. Those changes are summarized on Coursera’s blog.

Online Degrees

The most interesting developments of 2018 were in the market for online degrees. I have referred to the enthusiasm surrounding MOOC-based online degrees as the second wave of MOOC hype.

In 2018, Coursera announced 8 new online degrees from 6 new universities. One of those degrees is a Bachelor of Science in Computer Science from the University of London. Another is a degree from an Ivy League School, the Master of Computer and Information Technology from the University of Pennsylvania.

Here is a list of all the 12 Coursera’s online degrees announced so far:

A complete list of MOOC-based online degrees can be found in our pricing charts.

Coursera’s first online degree was the iMBA from the University of Illinois, Urbana-Champaign (UIUC) Geis College of Business, announced in May 2015. The iMBA was priced at $22k, tens of thousands of dollars cheaper than its closest competitors. To date, more than 1000+ students have enrolled in the degree and a the first cohorts of students have graduated.

You can learn more about the Coursera-UIUC collaboration in my interview with Coursera’s CEO Jeff Maggioncalda and Dean of Gies College of Business Jeffrey Brown.

Early this year, at the Coursera partners conference, the company shared some stats about its degree programs: 1,632 total students as of January 2018 and $9.6 million in tuition to date.

Most interestingly, 50% of applicants to degree programs already had experience using the Coursera platform, demonstrating that Coursera’s free MOOCs can act as a marketing channel for their online degrees.

Other 2018 Highlights/Milestones

New Microcredential: MasterTrack

In 2018, Coursera introduced a new microcredential, called MasterTrack. The MasterTrack credential is quite similar to edX’s MicroMasters program. Both these microcredentials allow learners to earn credit towards a master’s degree, contingent upon applying and being accepted into the degree-offering institution.

As compared with edX’s MicroMasters, Coursera’s MasterTrack Programs are much more expensive. The three MasterTrack programs announced so far are priced as follows: $2,000, $2,316, and $3,474; whereas MicroMasters programs range in price from $540 to $1,500, with the median price being $946.

It can be easy to forget that there is something big going on in higher education. By now, many of us have become used to the fact that for nearly any subject, there are high-quality, free or nearly free materials available for anyone interested in learning. Because so much of formal education remains unchanged, we forget (or ignore) the fact that that the higher education sector may be on the precipice of a transformation in how its core offerings are delivered and consumed.

One of the most exciting conferences in the online learning space, the Future of Learning Conference at the Indian Institute of Management Bangalore (IIMB), focuses on this potential for transformation. The conference brings together academics, industry professionals, and policy makers to discuss the impact of digitalization on higher education. Speakers at 2018’s Future of Learning Conference included edX CEO Anant Agarwal, Coursera Co-Founder Andrew Ng, and the CEOs of MOOC platforms Coursera and FutureLearn, as well as many education innovators from across India and beyond.

Next year’s Future of Learning conference is just around the corner. FOL2019 will take place January 4-5, 2019 on IIMB’s campus in Bangalore. The theme of the 2019 conference is Learning 4.0: Connecting the Dots and Reaching the Unreached.

Stay tuned for Class Central’s reporting on FOL2019, as we continue to keep tabs on all that’s new in MOOC-ville.

Class Central is a media partner of the 2019 Future of Learning Conference.

3200 free online courses are starting this month. But to keep the list manageable we removed courses that are offered every month or even weekly schedule. Those courses can be found here: class-central.com/courses/recent

]]>In my review of Udacity’s 2017, I noted that the company went truly global and was launching a number of region-specific initiatives. However, based on recent events, it seems as if Udacity is scaling back its global ambitions.

A couple of months ago we learned that Udacity laid off around 5% of its workforce (or around 25 employees) mostly from its Germany office. Now Udacity has announced plans to restructure the company and layoff 125 employees by early 2019.

According to VentureBeat, the company will lay off half the employees in its office in São Paulo, Brazil (70 employees). The remaining cuts will come from departments in the United States related to creating Udacity courses. This will bring the Udacity headcount down to 330 employees.

Udacity had a strong 2017, probably on the back of the wildly successful Self-Driving Car Nanodegree. Its revenue doubled to $70 million, up from $29 million in 2016.

In contrast, in 2018, none of the Nanodegrees launched by Udacity have really taken off. This combined with the lack of success in certain global markets might have led Udacity to increase its pricing for Nanodegrees (in some cases by 300%). Udacity’s global revenues are on-track to grow 25% for the current year, which would put it just shy of $90 million.

According to VentureBeat, as part of this restructuring, Udacity plans to grow enterprise-focused offerings in places like India and consumer-focused operations in China and the Middle East.
